After spending more than half a month in the Wilderness Zone, Xu Feng had improved greatly. He had gone from a clueless rookie to a half-rookie with some experience.
During this time, he had gone through more than a dozen battles. Once, he had nearly been killed by a two-headed wolf. If he had not comprehended the flying method of a Psychic Master and hidden inside a high-rise building, Xu Feng might have died. Even though he had escaped with his life, he had still suffered severe injuries. It took him a full seven days to gradually recover.
"Between life and death lie great terror and great opportunities. Though I narrowly escaped death, the gains were substantial." Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes and felt the strength within his body. Confidence showed on his face, and his faint smile made him look bright and sunny. "With my current combat strength, I can rival an Intermediate General at the peak. If I fought an Advanced General at the peak to the death, it is still uncertain who would live and who would die."
Xu Feng planned to seek out Advanced Beast Generals for battle, so he headed deeper into the Wilderness Zone. He found none on the first day. It was not until the third day, while roasting meat, that he finally discovered them.
That day, he was roasting meat when Boom! The ground began to tremble faintly, as if a huge herd of wild horses were galloping and shaking the earth. Xu Feng quickly headed toward the source of the vibrations.
The instant he saw the group of creatures clearly, Xu Feng knew that the Advanced Beast General he had been searching for had finally appeared.
"Advanced Beast General, Crimson Flame Wolf!" Xu Feng's expression changed slightly. He had wanted to find a single Advanced Beast General.
But now, there was one Advanced Beast General Crimson Flame Wolf King, along with more than twenty Beginner Beast General Crimson Flame Wolves.
Forget killing them—even escaping might be a problem.
Monster, Crimson Flame Wolf!
The Crimson Flame Wolves were covered in thick feathers, and their four long legs were astonishingly sturdy. Their entire bodies were fiery red, with only their wolf claws a cold, deep black.
Their fiery red scaled tails, nearly half the length of their bodies, were like whips. Whenever they swept the ground, deep furrows were easily carved into the earth.
"Hmph—"
A Crimson Flame Wolf gave a low snort, and two streams of white smoke puffed from its nostrils, carrying the scent of sulfur. Its two enormous, lantern-sized eyes were crystal-clear like diamonds, yet an eerily crimson red.
"Crunch, crunch." The Crimson Flame Wolf chewed twice, revealing two complete, interlocking rows of saw-like teeth inside its mouth. Every tooth was gleaming white, sending a chill through one's heart. No one would doubt their sharpness.
Just from seeing such a large beast pack, Xu Feng knew that a fierce battle was about to erupt today. Instead, an eager feeling rose within him. He had come to love the feeling of battle.
Strike first to gain the advantage. No—strike the beasts first. Xu Feng's mind stirred, and he immediately made his decision. He mobilized his Mental Power, and six throwing knives gradually appeared before him.
Whoosh!
A sharp, piercing sound rang out as the Series 7 throwing knives shot downward at terrifying speed. Xu Feng also leaped down, closely following the translucent Series 7 throwing knives as he charged below. At the same time, a layer of blue light flowed over the blade, and if one looked closely, thin arcs of electricity could be seen.
Second Layer of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade!
Bang!
The Series 7 throwing knives struck the Crimson Flame Wolf's forehead viciously. The vacuum Series 7 throwing knives immediately shattered apart, while the Crimson Flame Wolf's forehead was wounded by the attack. Xu Feng's strike then landed heavily on its head as well. The Crimson Flame Wolf's head was already covered in blood.
Roar—
The enormous Crimson Flame Wolf opened its mouth, and a massive burst of flame spewed out, charging directly toward Xu Feng. This damned human dared to attack me and injure me. This human must die.
Wherever that massive flame passed, the forest trees were scorched by the intense High Temperature and caught fire. Xu Feng immediately dodged at high speed like an ape. The Crimson Flame Wolf's whip-like tail swung toward him like lightning, but Xu Feng dodged once again.
Xu Feng rose into the air and reached the Crimson Flame Wolf's head. The Blood Shadow Saber slashed viciously into its wound.
Wounded again, the Crimson Flame Wolf became even more berserk. Screech— Its tail swung without restraint, its range of motion enormous. A roughly ten-meter-long stone from a nearby building was swept by the Crimson Flame Wolf's tail. The hard rock shattered like mud without any resistance, and the entire building collapsed with a boom. Countless stones tumbled down as dust filled the air.
Roar, roar~~~ Amid the spreading dust came the Crimson Flame Wolf's furious roars and the giant flames it spat from its mouth. This time, Xu Feng successfully dodged the tail strike, but he could not evade the flames.
Just as the giant flames were about to smash into Xu Feng.
At such close range, he had no way to dodge.
I have to gamble.
If I gamble, there is still a sliver of hope. If I do not, I will definitely die.
In less than a second, Xu Feng made his decision.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Feng held the Blood Shadow Saber and carried his shield. He made a strange sideways shift in midair and collided with a Beast General level Clear Fire Wolf that was pouncing up from below. Xu Feng stomped viciously on the Clear Fire Wolf's back, sending it crashing back to the ground. It even crushed an ordinary Beast General level monster to death. Borrowing that powerful force, Xu Feng shot upward. Up, up, up! Roar~ Roar! Roar, roar~~ The Beast General level monsters leaped toward Xu Feng one after another. His Mental Power had long since spread out, covering everything within a fifteen-meter radius.
"A Intermediate Beast General level Clear Fire Wolf five meters to the upper left. A Primary General level Clear Fire Wolf three meters to the upper right is pouncing over.
"Two monsters directly above are pressing down one after another." At the moment of life and death, Xu Feng's brain processed calculations at an astonishing speed, and he made a decision in an instant.
With a puff, he used the Clear Fire Wolf for leverage in a collision, and Xu Feng's speed surged.
Xu Feng charged diagonally upward with a monster corpse held above him.
Screech—the throwing knives attacked.
Boom! Three monsters collided in midair.
In only one second, Xu Feng transformed into an afterimage, constantly turning and charging upward. He engaged in close combat with twenty-one Beast General level monsters. Sometimes he borrowed force, sometimes he killed, sometimes he would rather be wounded himself. In short, he used every method possible, for one purpose only—to fly higher as fast as possible. Puff, puff, puff—up!
Xu Feng quickly leaped onto the Crimson Flame Wolf King's head, and the Blood Shadow Saber stabbed directly into the Crimson Flame Wolf's wound. The blade was so sharp that it pierced straight into the wound, the entire blade sinking into the Crimson Flame Wolf's head except for the hilt.
The Crimson Flame Wolf reacted and shook its head, flinging Xu Feng away. Its body collapsed directly to the ground.
"Finally dead. As expected of a Crimson Flame Wolf, one of the strongest among Advanced Beast Generals.
"If I hadn't comprehended the Perfect Level Movement Technique, I would definitely have been the one to die. Unfortunately, there are no ifs. I won, so you died. If you won, I would die. It's that simple." Xu Feng looked at the Crimson Flame Wolf he had just killed and muttered to himself.
The remaining dozen or so Crimson Flame Wolves saw that their wolf king was dead and immediately fled in panic.
"I finally made it out alive!"
Xu Feng, pale-faced, hovered in midair, his emotions surging as he looked at the smoke filling the surroundings. He was even more excited. He had thought this would be a near-death experience and that he might be finished. He had not expected that, in his madness, he would actually charge out alive.
"Human potential really is forced out under pressure." Xu Feng could not help laughing. "In that brief instant just now, I completely calculated the positions of thirty-two Beast General level monsters around me, fought sixteen monsters in close combat, and finally escaped. Could this be the Perfect Level Movement Technique above the Microscopic level—control over the environment?"
Xu Feng knew that evasive movement techniques were divided into Basic Level Movement Techniques, Microscopic level, Perfect Level Movement Technique, and Artistic Conception Level Movement Technique.
The Microscopic level meant using the smallest possible movements to evade attacks, achieving the greatest efficiency in dodging.
The Perfect Level meant controlling the surrounding environment and making use of any object nearby—such as living beings, rocks, buildings, and so on—to perfectly utilize the environment and evade with the utmost precision. That was the Perfect Level Movement Technique. Ancient Han War God Li Kan was at this level, while Shadow Diao King Tong had reached the even higher Artistic Conception Level Movement Technique.
"Haha, time to go." With a thought from Xu Feng, the buckle came loose, and the shield flew beneath his feet. Xu Feng immediately flew away at high speed.
Every day, Xu Feng fought monsters, and his chances of being injured grew fewer and fewer. Of course, as Xu Feng unconsciously moved closer to the core region of the Wilderness Zone, the number of Advanced Beast Generals also increased. Xu Feng became more vigilant with each passing day.
It's time to go back, Xu Feng thought.
Xu Feng now planned to return. In this short time, his strength had taken a tremendous leap, and his combat experience had become extremely rich. This training had already met, and even exceeded, his original expectations.
